    Well done, it seems like decisive action :j what have you done with your credit cards?, have you cut them up, put them in the freezer?, how are you living now, cash only? or are you still using the credit cards but paying off the amount in full at the end of the month? What have done to be sure you don't get into debt again
  • Credit cards all but one shredded - pity the balances weren't so easy to handle! working on the big interest ones first to minimise the total I pay out. I've handed over the remaining one to Mrs Madboffin for "emergency use only" I need to carry out some weird ritual involving black candles etc to get it back off her so that's soerted that then!
